Bought some more figs from David, another smooth transaction, thanks man!

Completed a trade with Michael that was real easy, thanks man!

using info provided through here i went to some local WM's and found some XD figs sitting at the bottom of shelves with the 5 dollar price tag, an unsuspecting customer would have just kept walking but I; empowered with the knowledge gained from this thread, took the figs to the scanner and lo and behold, they were a dollar apiece! Im not an expert on the WWII XD stuff but i did get a few US machine gunners and soldiers and German officers w/ black coats?? wish i would have found some Nam figs but oh well, any of you guys want to trade modern or Nam era figs for my WWII finds? With the lull in Joes, i've also started to pick up the FOV modern figs from Jesse James reccomendation. I almost have the whole set of desert soldiers, kinda having trouble with the sniper guy and his hand, but for 4.99, its a pretty sweet deal. Those newer figs over at the unimax website have me excited, escpecially the divers and rangers! Ive also been lucky enough to snag some sweet 1:18 birds in trades that still have me saying OMG!

i've always passed on the 21st Century 1:18 figures because Im more of a modern fan but i saw some of the PLATOON figs on clearance at WM the other day so i thought why not give it a chance. Boy was i glad i did, they may not be Hasbro quality, but they have their own unique style and look that im digging. The extra body parts are way better than some of the crap (mini holo's) that Hasbro has given us over the years. My favorite part are the ammo packs and canteen that you can stick on their belt, now normally you'd expect with cheap toys that you'd have problems with stuff like that staying on, but i really felt like those small pieces fit perfectly with no problems, best of all, the paint is real good. I also picked up the 2 recent BBI modern paratroopers, they are cool as fuk. whew!

happy Bday!

stopped in at target and they had these new 1:18 Navy Seal Sand Buggys for 15.99 i think, i looked for a brand but it looks like a brand i have never heard of. looked real nice in tan desert colors. Its wierd how these all of a sudden show up like those 21st century stuff that came out a week before christmas. the other cool item i saw was the NEW FORCES OF VALOR BRAVO TEAM modern paratroopers w/ working parachutes. they looked NEAT! upon close inspection they look like the reg figs but with the paratroop bags. I really hope you can take off the bags though, the packaging screams LOOK AT ME! the new year is looking good!
